We Energies sponsors China Lights’ return

For the
second year in a row, We Energies is sponsoring China Lights at Boerner
Botanical Gardens in Hales Corners.

This year’s event
promises to make the gardens brighter than ever with 50 lantern displays across
three quarters of a mile of Boerner’s landscape. These vivid and expertly lit displays depict
flowers, figures and animals -- real and mythical.
Each handmade lantern was constructed on-site by Chinese artisans. Nearly all of the
lanterns are different from those shown last year.

The event
offers food and drink as well as vendors selling Chinese crafts and gifts.
Additionally, each day features an illumination parade, as well as multiple live
performances including musicians, spinning tops, juggling and martial arts
demonstrations on stages sponsored by our company.

We believe in building stronger communities by supporting initiatives that
promote economic health, arts and culture, education and environment. “We
Energies is proud to sponsor China Lights in Southeastern Wisconsin because it
is an exciting celebration of art and culture that we know all will enjoy,”
said John Zaganczyk, vice president – customer services.

China Lights
runs through Oct. 22 from 5:30 to 10 p.m. and is closed to the
public on Mondays. Potential visitors can learn more about the event, including
information on tickets and parking, at chinalights.org.
